SOC 2161 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,400, and Handle Recruitment is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2434 (Business and related research professionals, Market research analyst focus on research and analysis) or SOC 3544 (Data analysts, Data analysis and dashboard development are core duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
